Abstract: and?atmosphere coupling strength or the degree to which land surface anomalies influence boundary layer development?and in extreme cases, rainfall?is arguably the single most fundamental criterion for evaluating hydrological ...

Abstract: systematic method is proposed to optimally combine estimates of the terrestrial water budget from different data sources and to enforce the water balance constraint using data assimilation techniques. The method is applied ...

Abstract: vapotranspiration ET is a critical water, energy, and climate variable, and recent work has been published comparing different global products. These comparisons have been difficult to interpret, however, because in most ...

Abstract: sing data from seven global model operational analyses (OA), one land surface model, and various remote sensing retrievals, the energy and water fluxes over global land areas are intercompared for 2003/04. Remote sensing ...
